I normally wouldn't comment just to correct a misspelling, but it's pretty consistent and it's an entirely different sound, as well as being what the thread is about.
- rustyhancock 6mo agoThanks!
- OJFord 6mo agoTo some percentage of the British population, I fink you'll find it's exactly the same sound.
- rounce 6mo agoIt isn't always exactly the same sound even when th-fronted, the manner of doing so is regionally distinct and in many cases, to a sensitive ear, a th-fronted 'th' can be clearly discerned from an 'f' based on sound alone. Some accents will make a stronger distinction by softening the 'th' and/or extending it into the subsequent vowel.
